@curiousigor time to move to Firefox or Brave once and for all, I guess 😛 Only reason I use Safari at all is because of the great, intuitive open-tab sync between Mac and iPad. I'd miss that a lot 😢
What's new in Safari 13.0:
The Safari 13 update contains feature improvements as well as privacy, security and compatibility enhancements and is recommended for all users. This update:
• Includes an updated start page with Favorites, frequently visited, and most recently visited websites
• Provides a warning if a weak password is typed when signing in to a website and helps to upgrade it to a strong password
• Adds the ability to enable Picture in Picture from the audio button in a tab
• Enables jumping directly to an already-open tab from the search completion list when the website address is typed into the Smart Search field
• Adds support for authentication using USB security keys on supported websites

Safari is significantly behind google & other platforms on PWA, can we plan to see this change anytime soon?
@russellreeder seriously, it would be awesome if they would implement accepted standards such as web push notifications. Too bad they are anti-competitive and refuse to do so...
@russellreeder - I don't suppose they have much incentive to move the Web forward -- wouldn't want web applications to be _too_ native-like, eh?
@russellreeder PWAs don't allow me to select text or open links in new tabs. I'll actively oppose PWAs until the people who push this concept fix these major issues.
@russellreeder I'd say stop worrying about PWA... consumers don't know anything about it and won't bother setting them up. Just look into React Native or Swift UI, ship a real app and be done with it
And probably still without Meet support, right? Then someone sets up a meeting, asks to be via Meet, and you need to switch browsers. Poor experience.
@andredemoraes not sure what "Meet" is, but this would not be a problem with Safari. 3rd parties need to produce a plug-in to access video and audio capabilities of your device, so your complaint would be with them
@andredemoraes the problem is Google uses their own VP9 codec (as well as Facebook and Slack, at least as far as I know) which isn't really a part of the standard therefore Apple decided not to support it.
@andredemoraes I use Safari for everything, but every once in a while I come across something (like Meet) that only works in Chrome etc. For that, I open up a single Chrome tab just for that meeting. It's a poor experience, but the pros of Safari make it worth it for me (privacy, secure extensions, iOS password sync, "share" button - airdrop links!, battery life on Macbook, performance).
Installed Safari 13 with iOS 13. Trying to record just audio using the HTML Media Capture standard crashes the browser: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxh87c...
@naicuoctavian iOS 13 was released yesterday, but yes, it's still buggy. I'd test it again in 13.1 on the 24th.
@zach_moreno I've been following the Safari Technology Preview releases and I've seen no updates to the media Stream Recorder API since January https://blog.addpipe.com/safari-...
Anyway, I've opened a bug report about the HTML Media Capture issue above @ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug...
@naicuoctavian awesome & I've opened another on the missing timeslice parameter @ https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug...
Not happy as now extensions don't work, I have gone to Opera, as Facebook is not bearable without Social Fixer and FB Purity. A step backwards for me! Can't even use Grammarly.
